Finally Starting to Fix What is Broken

"I have, for years, told soldiers that if you know how something works you'll know how to fix it. The Army Center for Enhanced Performance came to the Warrior Transition Unit to give a class for the Cadre. ACEP, to anyone inclined to think so, would find it to be some touchy feely California fluff. When the hard numbers came out though, even accupuncture was, for lack of a better word, bunked.

For years soldiers and their psychology have been removed to the "stop being a pussy" shelf while families and children suffered for it. The culture of Alpha males is being reworked as we come to accept that we are all wired differently. Training is easy, believe it or not killing is easy, killing with purpose is even easier. Dealing with the residue is hard.

I and every member of the Armed Services live 9/11 and Iraq every day. Every appointment, class, manual, briefing, and range is not for readiness its preparedness. You will go, have gone, or are preparing to go again.

A man can take so much. Camels backs seem to be the number one injured body part in todays army."
